Zack Snyder has taken to Vero to share some new footage from his upcoming director's cut of Justice League, and it teases an alternate take on the Battle of Themyscira.
We saw Steppenwolf make his way to Wonder Woman's homeland to retrieve one of the Mother Boxes in the theatrical cut, but it looks like this version of the sequence will play out a little differently - and quite a bit more brutally - as the redesigned villain lays waste to a legion of Amazons while being peppered with arrows.
It's interesting that Snyder says he's "working on the Justice is Gray edition" of the movie. The filmmaker has previously stated that hid ideal version would be presented in black-and-white, so perhaps he's been given the opportunity to work on yet another re-release?
In ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE, determined to ensure Superman’s (Henry Cavill) ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) aligns forces with Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions. The task proves more difficult than Bruce imagined, as each of the recruits must face the demons of their own pasts to transcend that which has held them back, allowing them to come together, finally forming an unprecedented league of heroes.
Now united, Batman (Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and The Flash (Ezra Miller) may be too late to save the planet from Steppenwolf, DeSaad and Darkseid and their dreadful intentions.
Zack Snyder's Justice League is set to premiere on HBO Max on March 18, with a new trailer scheduled for this Sunday.
